So to solve this question, your goal is to find out how the way it is solved is not correct.
Your answer would be: On the third line, the student adds the 8 to both sides instead of subtracting. The way the initial equation is given is
y-(-8)=-6(x-2). After distributing the six, the student should make the 8 positive because subtracting a negative makes a positive. After solving, the equation should look like: y(+8)=-6x+12, so you would subtract the 8 from both sides instead of adding it, and solve from there.
Let's start with the area of the square
now let's subtract the are of the two half circles.
two half circles are the same as one circle, and we know that the diameter of the circle is 8 (same as the side of a square) so it's radius is 8/2= 4 inches
now we just subtract and our answer is
Let the boat speed in still water be b.
Let the current speed be c.
The speed going upstream is 20/4 = 5 mph.
The speed going downstream is 32/4 = 8 mph.
b - c = 5 ........(1)
b + c = 8 .......(2)
Adding equations (1) and (2) we get:
2b = 13
b = 13/2 = 6.5
Plugging in the value for b into equation (1) we find c = 1.5.
The boat speed in still water is 6.5 mph and the current speed is 1.5 mph.
Answer:
cos theta = 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle
Cos theta = opp side/ hypotenuse
Cos theta = 8/10
cos theta = 4/5
